How To Do Hard Disk Repair In Linux Mint

Hello

External hard drives in most cases work "out of the box" in all Linux distributions, but there are always issues with some models of external hard drive. So to use your external hard drive you need to create a mount point. To do that, first open terminal and then type this:

Mkdir /mnt/usbdrive
Mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive

Now when your mount point is created you can use your external hard drive with no problems, just make sure to restart the computer after connecting hard drive to the computer.

You can find more information on this link
